Overwatch Pro Settings and Setups – An always updated list on the Settings and Setups used by Professional OW Players

Overwatch is an ever-growing phenomenon. It has become an international e-sport with over 25 million people playing. Several big investors have joined the scene to build the best teams possible and compete in the Overwatch League. Unsurprisingly, a lot of players are interested in the settings (like mouse DPI, mouse Hz, OW sensitivity / zoom – sensitivity, FOV, Resolution) and setups (mouse, monitor, mousepad, keyboard, headset) of professionals like Seagull, Shadder2k and Surefour.

We have tried to gather all the information for you in this sortable table. Using the sensitivity, mice, keyboards and other settings of professionals is always a good start for newer players. Adjust the settings to your liking and try different mice or keyboards until you feel comfortable.

It might also be interesting to note that most professionals use low-medium graphic settings. Forced bloom, refraction detail and similar lighthing settings can take quite the toll on your hardware and have to be set to low. However, adjust your overwatch settings to your personal liking. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable with them. You can find an in-depth guide on the perfect video settings here.

The settings and setups of Overwatch professionals can be incredibly hard to find. This list is a work in progress so please don’t hesitate to write us in the comments if you see anything that is wrong. We really appreciate your support to make this the best resource possible.

Not every Overwatch professional is using the perfect mouse though. To make sure you are buying a mouse with a ‘perfect’ or ‘superior’ sensor, check our List of Flawless Mice for reference.

According last stream, Ryujehong now using Razer Deathadder Elite Overwatch Edition.
And according Shadowburn stream, he playing at 144Hz and locked his fps to 151. As he said game is more comfortalbe for him on this settings. I can try to find and make a clip, but it will be on russian language.

According to the OWWC, Surefour is now using the zowie ec2-b mouse with the razer goliathus mousepad, and his keyboard has white keycaps with black frame, so I’ll bet that it’s the MK Disco keyboard (google it) or one of the ducky shines

Saebyeolbye went back to the Logitech G Pro wireless and his mousepad is now the Zowie G-SR-SE, his keyboard also isn’t the fnatic ministreak anymore because it uses blue switches (Sound from his stream).
Though I do recommend leaving his gear as “(changing until OWL S2)” because that’s exactly what SBB’s twitch says.

It reduces certain graphical processes that you wouldn’t even notice, I heavily tested the feature when it was first released, and I couldn’t see a graphical difference between the two, but keeping reduce buffering on increased my fps and made my game MUCH smoother, so I recommend ALWAYS keeping “triple buffering” on OFF and “reduce buffering” ON

Different windows versions should have no effect on performance, I used to use windows 8.1, now I use 10, no difference. Just make sure that your RAM is not full with other processes when playing Overwatch.
